This is a great way to learn more about what you are seeing. We ran into a problem when we got there and a rock slide closed 120 at the Vista point at Half Dome. We were still able to do the 2 hour detour and it picked up where we went in. I suggest you download more than 1 entrance in case you are rerouted. There is zero service to be had during our trip. Worked great and will try again another day.

This self-guided audio tour was one of the best ways to experience Yosemite. PROs: • We were in the comfort and warmth of our own vehicle • We could stop at our leisure and take in the views without feeling rushed • We could very easily go back in the audio and listen to the commentary again if we didn't hear what was said • When we got back on the road, the tour automatically picked up where we left off — They knew exactly where we were based on GPS - even though we were offline (there's no signal in the park.) CONs: • Once we reached the starting point address and pulled over, it was a little unclear what road to get on to begin the tour. The map wasn't showing up on my phone, so we ended up starting on the wrong road. But we went back to the starting point and looked at the printed map the Ranger gave us at the entrance and figured out what road we needed to get on. • There were a few times when the audio did not play when we drove through the numbered "checkpoint"...so I had to hit "play" manually on the audio. But it eventually picked up and started doing it automatically again. • The only thing I would add would be a better way to match our location on the tour to the printed map provided by the park ranger. Perhaps if they called out what the name of the roads were in the audio so we could figure out where we were more easily. OVERALL, it was a fantastic way to see the park. Highly recommend!!!

Was way too confusing and did not work at all while in the park. Waste of money! The download also took almost an hour.

I had kids and loved having the tour in the car enriched their experience visiting national park more.

Better than other similar products- but could have a bit more content. Reader is very suited to the task. Enhanced our visit.

Richard S

App was reasonably priced and functioned well. Interesting info provided, synched with your location in the Park. Provided different tours depending on which entrance you used.

emileh984

It's nice to have information at different points instead of driving randomly around. The tour needs a little more work. I couldn't find a few spots after taking a loop for Yosemite fall. I circled back 3 times and still couldn't find them. I couldn't find an overview map of the tour once offline. This makes it hard to know where I was in reference to the complete tour.

I loved this app and audio of my trip through Yoesemite National Park. It did get a little confusing leaving as I didn't find the park very well signed and the app also didn't make mention of the end and exit. Not a big deal as I stopped and asked a ranger. Would love to return in May when the Waterfalls are at their best.

It was a good navigation tool to guide you through different points to visit. It could include more detailed information regarding the operation of shuttle bus, closed roads,....

gallagherkaren

The App was easy to download and gave us detailed directions to the park entrance we chose. I liked the fact that the audio started when we reached entrance to the park. The gos worked well, but a few times the audio skipped and/ or repeated itself. Lots of information was revealed which made the trip more educational. The park itself is memorizing and the audio added to it.
